Love the proportions of this Yema dial, all stainless too. The seller is a dealer but I quite like perusing his stuff as I always spot something unusual.

Interesting, in Canada this isn’t available
If you want it, I’ll buy it and send it to you and pay me back

That may be one of the redials from the East- potential buyers- do your homework
Hmmm, you know I think you’re right, that shade of blue and the bright white markers... I’ll remove my link but leave the post. Thanks.

This is a really nice simple early 70’s design- looks like the Cosmic SM’s of the time at a fraction of the price.

Nice looking stainless Gruen with a great cushion style case. Looks to have had a light polish on the bright work but the brushing is very nicely intact. Dial has some spotting but not bad. Seller claims it’s been serviced, a bonus at the price.

edit- I’ll take back the polishing observation- I don’t think this has been polished as that brushing is razor sharp. The wear above the crown may just be from years of winding/setting.

Not sure if your son or nephew is ready to wear a vintage watch? This is a perfect trial watch. If they jump in the shower with it on, you are only out the cost of a modest meal.

Thank you JW 👍 You're a rockstar 😎 I've been wanting to make a bund strap, and this will be a good look I think.

This thread reminds me of a bunch of kids standing outside of a haunted house daring each other to go in.

The 3 star Benrus is now on it’s way to me, then to Dave in Canada. This was a steal as it even has the original 3-star crown. And I got the fun of buying it without the guilt of having bought yet another watch.

This is a fun one- for our female members, men with small wrists (and comfort with their masculinity) or the gracious gifter- lovely Omega 30mm ladies Dynamic with factory brushing intact and factory bracelet. Dial lume looks to have been removed or degraded (but dial itself looks good and new pips could easily be done) crystal took a bad hit a 6 and needs replacement, but the watch is all there, unmolested and running. Seller is very transparent about the flaws and I’m betting would be open to offers.
I would check on crystal availability with one of our resident Omega watchmakers, but I bet this would be a stunner once sorted out and a fashion statement on the wrist of anyone who dons it.

This one isn't working but it's in great condition. Maybe it's been shared here but here ya go. https://www.ebay.com/itm/303526807945
Oh shit- look at that dial!!!
This era of Benrus was eta based usually so service and parts should be easy if someone loves this (who wouldn’t!) and is either handy or has a an inexpensive guy who can get it running again.

Elgin Sportsman- case appears to be stainless but no pic of back to know for sure. Original bowler hat crown, dial looks a little dusky but patina is even. Needs a bath and a crystal polish and should look smart.

Lovely GP Bulova 30 jewel non-lume hands/ dial with Arabic and dash indices. The beaded second track is awesome. Crystal is crazing so needs replacement but these can be fitted with GS and dial looks flawless- look at that golden glow! Running and has make offer.

Yep. I don't know how this one got through our trawling of ebay 😀 someone should definitely give this one a chance.
